Events Attended: Titanic Steerage Ball

The grand Titanic weekend, sponsored by the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers, opened on Friday night with a steerage ball. What this meant was a little ambiguous, so we got a wonderful array of outfits. It was a cheerful, slightly casual night. And of course, the music (with members of our own wonderful Ad Hoc Quadrille Band backing up Ian Whitcomb, who we brought out from California!) was great.

I personally wore an old thrown-together ballgown. But I added a fun choker to make it more interesting! Does it say Mary Crawley to you?
